havent really been a big fan of motorhead, but their new song heartbreaker is pretty sweet

Why don't you just tell us you hate the metal gods!?! It's fucking Lemmy. No one can say he or she likes metal and dislike Motorhead. I'm going to make a fucking ruling on this right now. You don't insult Lemmy. Period. Next thing you're going to be saying Quorthon is mediocre!

at what point did i insult either lemmy, or motorhead? i actually think lemmy is a ****ing awesome dude
im only saying theyre not a band id go out of my way to listen to

^You insult Lemmy by not being a fan of Motorhead. You can't just walk into an American Literature class and say, "You know, I'm not a big fan of William Faulkner." The same applies for a few metal bands (Sabbath, Priest, Motorhead, etc.) I'm curious, how much Motorhead have you actually listened to? And given your recent admission of not even knowing who Kalmah or Dark Tranquillity were, I'm willing to bet you don't like them because you haven't actually listened to them. Just a thought. Prove me wrong if you want of course.

I am just going to stop responding to you if you keep posting memes like a little kid. Of course it you just want me to leave you alone, then that's fine. My point is this: You self identify as a metalhead, yet you claim you are not a big fan of Motorhead, who are one of the biggest, and most influential bands in the genre. I find this somewhat perplexing. I am not going to tell you that you have to like Motorhead, but I am trying to convince you that perhaps you should like them because not only are they very important in metal history, but I think they are a great band, and I think anyone who claims to like metal should at least familiarize him or herself with the genre's greats. Before some of you internet trolls try to jump down my throat, notice that I am making a value claim. I am not saying that objectively Motorhead is the finest band in existence, but I am saying instead that I think, if you identify with this genre, then you ought to at least respect Motorhead's contribution if not just be a fan of the band. I am putting forth more of an opinion than an incontrovertible fact. I certainly could have been clearer, and I was being childish before. My apologies. I am working off the assumption that you don't like them because you don't know them, and my evidence is that you don't even know who Kalmah or Dark Tranquillity are. All I will say is this. Give Ace of Spades or Orgasmatron a chance. You're certainly welcome to dislike them, but please don't just write them off like I assume you are doing. Of course my assumption could be wrong, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Also, yes. I am a fan of William Faulkner. I am also majoring in Literature.

but let me ask you this virtuoso: do you like EVERY "great" metal band?

you dont have to like every episode of big bang theory to be a fan of it, you dont have to like every horror movie to be a fan of horror, you dont have to like every play to be a fan of broadway, and you dont have to like every car to be a car person (in fact, car people usually talk the most shit on cars)

so now, does one have to like every band in a genre to be a fan of it? or does one only have to enjoy and appreciate it above other genres?

i call myself a metalhead because its been the genre ive related to the most since i was 7, and no amount of bigotry or metal elitism challenging my loyalty will tell me otherwise

also, i do respect motorhead, i respect the shit out of lemmy, and at no point did i say otherwise; you did

for a philosophy and literature major, you certainly seem to take things out of context a lot lol

lol uuum, no. ill admit i dont have an extensive musical library, but please dont challenge my knowledge with two VERY well known bands

That was the point... I was comparing Kalmah to those bands because I've met just as many part-time metal fans that are into Kalmah as I have with the afformentioned radio-friendly pop death metal bands. I assure you neither I nor EqualOfHeaven enterprises or any of our affiliates have any intention of challenging your knowledge.

I have 4 guitars that I play regularly, they are all tuned to Eb. A buddy I jam with wants to write songs in Drop tunings, I told him "What's next, are we going to start writing 5 minute breakdowns now?"
